if you look at it, an FIU player was the one that started
I know a FIU player started it but it turned into a brawl involving all the players on both teams and it should have never escalated to that.

Actually, a "Tha U" player pointed at the FIU bench after scoring a touchdown. He got flagged for 15 yards and the brawl happened after the extra point.

Tha U could get away with a**hole moves like this and the Louisville stomp in the 1980s when they had the teams to back up the swagger. This one doesn't. They need to cut this nonsense out and focus on remembering how to play the actual game.

This was 100% the fault of the FIU players. Granted, the UM players went into it whole-hog once the FIU guys started it, but the FIU players were the ones who put the KICKER on the ground and started stomping and kicking him...after that, they got the response they deserved.
I very much dislike Coker, but he has run a clean program and anyone that says different doesn't know crap about the subject.

An FIU player started it but UM escalated it WAYYY beyond what it should have materialized to. They were the ones that started swarming first and hitting back after what the FIU student did. It's only common sense the rest of the FIU players wouldnt just stand around.

Both sides are at fault!! FIU is a nobody so nobody cares about them. Miami lives down to their reputation and shows once again why they are an outlaw program and can never live down that image.

Miami has slipped from the best team in the state to the 3rd or maybe 4th best team in the state (South Florida is a rising program and would be favored over them if they played tomorrow or even next year).

The Canes are a joke. I hope the ACC steps in and hands out some major suspensions. If not, then the NCAA must. Same goes for FIU, but who really cares about them anyway

look at the FIU roster..and people wonder how this started....Miami and south florida kids everywhere on here...everyone cant go to Miami..so they had to be pissed all that time that miami didnt select any of them....

you cant come in the orangebowl, cheap shot all game, talk trash..Miami PROTECTED there players and their field

period.

FIU doesnt have the history that your team does. This could be a first time blemish for FIU all I know, but they are punks for this also. Protecting your field and doing what you guys did arent one and the same.

FIU might have started it, but Miami was quick to escalate it. That punch thrown against any other team is a 15 yard penalty, perhaps off setting penalties because a lineman goes and sticks up for his player. But it doesnt result in a benches clearing brawl with players using helmets as weapons and kicking people on the ground. Miami could have handled that punch with a lot more class and not made themselves look like a bunch of ***** to the world.

I also find it hard to believe that Miami wasnt talking trash right along with FIU, it's just hard to give Miami the benefit of the doubt in any situation like this. And the fight didnt start with that punch on the kicker, it looked like two lineman started shoving each other right after the kick was made, I think that instigated it all and I have no idea who started that shoving match.

FIU deserves plenty of the blame, but saying they started it we were just defending ourselves and did nothing wrong is completely foolish.

Man I tell u what, I think Miami is the most HATED team in the league. If you are a non Miami fan, u are gonna think this is on Miami . . . I mean wtf man. Do any of yall understand the relationships from even back to pee wee football on the field right now. This is Miami-FIU . . . fk FSU and UF, this is what u call a LOCAL rivalry. U got kids from Deerfield Beach on south to Homestead making up about 90% of your squad. These kids got beef, alot of the FIU kids applied to Miami and weren't able to get a scholarship. I'm laughing at people saying that if it was USC or OSU this wouldn't happen. Of course not, they are way across the country some where. This type of thing happens at local schools ala Clemson-South Carolina. These 2 were jabber jawing all night, talking mess . . . probably talking bout how so and so's girl is a hoe, and how he hit it in the 8th grade . . .I mean u gotta understand the tension going on, on the field. Miami was taking that crap all night man, and when they scored . . .yea they relieved a little frustration and drawed that unsportsman like conduct flag . . . but hell what team doesn't draw one of those occassionly after scoring a TD. FIU took out the kicker and the scout QB, and thats when all hell broke loose. U wanna say Miami is classless, whateva man. I mean its bad what happened, but Miami didn't start this . . . they damn sure finished it tho. U don't let these UM rejects come on your field and take over, fk that, of course u non U fans think MIami could have prevented it, GTFO, this is bigger than NCAA, this is about hometown pride man. U know how many families were in the stands, how many homeboys, how many former teammates, how many current high school players . . . when FIU builds that program up, u will see this game on rivalry week every year.

No, it still would have been just as ugly. You may be fooliing yourself, but you're not fooling anyone else. You criminally assault the freaking kicker, you're going to cause a brawl with any team.

The stomp they do with the helmets in the air is more of a sign of unity, a "Nobody is gonna come in our house and run us over", its actually refreshing to see from this dead team, maybe its classless to u, but it may be the spark that turns this program back up, as crazy as it may sound.

Would u rather all the UM players go to the bench with their head in there hands crying about what just happened, c'mon man . . . it was only FIU, but Miami turned it on after that, and it was good to see a solid team effort after the brawl. These guys acted like they had interest in a game for the first time all year . . .its about DAMN TIME.

Once the FIU bench cleared, what choice did Miami have? Let their players on the field get assaulted while they stood by? Hope I never have to count on YOU to have my back. :rolleyes2

Nobody was going to get killed. Nobody had guns or knives.

The canes bench could have stayed there, let the refs take care of everything. And make FIU look like the bad guys.

Now, everyone looks bad. And the Canes have a history of this nonsense and this type of crap plus they are the bigger school so it effects them more. You don't think Florida, FSU, and other ACC schoools will use this footage to recruit against them?? Sit down with a players mamma and pappa and say....you want to send your kid to a school where THIS happens?? How it started who started it becomes irrelevant. You just don't "act" that way.

Like I said, nobody had a gun or a knife or was going to get murdered. The refs could have broken it up. Then the Canes come off looking like the good-guys.

That brawl was sooooooo ugly and so bad. You can't trust Miami or even the ACC to pass out the punishments.

I hope the NCAA steps in. Bans certain players for life from playing NCAA football (on both schools). No little 3 or 4 game suspension. BAN THEM FOR LIFE!!!! Then maybe block FIU and Miami from going to any potential bowl games for 1 or 2 years. Starting THIS YEAR!

The punishment needs to be so harsh to prevent anything like this happening again. You can't trust the schools or conference to make the call.

I saw the brawl several times on the clip shows. Here's the bottom line of it all: FIU started it and UM finished it, with style. Even on a bench clearing brawl, there's no need to stomp on players laying on the ground, and there is not need to swing your helmet like a weapon...ever.

FIU started it. Any player from that team that stomped on another player, or body slammed another should have their scholarship revoked. Any other player who threw a punch should have the rest of their season yanked. No bowl game (like they were going to make one anyway).

The UM kid that swung his helmet like a mace: Revoke his scholarship and send him packing. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THAT ACTION. None of you can defend it, so don't even try. Any other UM players that were stomping on players on the ground, either revoke scholarships, or suspend the rest of the year. Kids that swung a punch? Suspended the rest of the year.

I put equal blame on both sides. Yeah, FIU started it and I think should bear the brunt of the consequences. Miami has the higher profile program and will bear most of the scrutiny.

You must also block each school from postseason play for more than 1 year. Beause then it makes it difficult for BOTH schools to recruit kids knowing they are on a 1 year post-season ban. Makes the schools less atractive.

:sidelol::sidelol::sidelol::sidelol::sidelol::sidelol::sidelol:

Naw, Coker doesn't have many bad days...but the fans of his team do. God I hate that guy. He needs to be fired.

Miami coach Larry Coker said Sunday that at least eight Hurricane players will be suspended for their role in a sideline-clearing brawl against Florida International.

The fight came during Miamiâ€™s 35-0 win Saturday night against Florida International, which plays across town. It was the first meeting between the teams.

Coker said the five players ejected in the fight â€” offensive linemen Derrick Morse and Chris Barney, running back Charlie Jones, and cornerbacks Carlos Armour and Bruce Johnson â€” would be suspended.

Coker also suspended safeties Anthony Reddick and Brandon Meriweather and fullback James Bryant.

The lengths of the suspensions have not been determined.

â€œI donâ€™t have many bad days,â€ Coker said Sunday. â€œThis is a bad day.â€

The fight marred what was supposed to be the beginning of a friendly rivalry between two schools with players who grew up battling each other on high school fields in South Florida.

But even after reviewing tape, itâ€™s impossible to say when tensions began escalating â€” although Coker said there was an incident during pregame warmups where an FIU player collided with a Miami player. He declined to identify which players were involved.

I guarantee that fight hurt the University of Miami(FL) program in regards to recruiting, more than it helped. The only players who would enjoy seeing something like that are the players who have that type of mentality. And players with that type of mentality are the ones who get passed over on by most top tier programs.

No what really hurt their recruiting was that *** kicking they got from Louisville. Miami is no longer a big time program sorry but they arent. There are 20 better programs right now. They have been in decline for a while now. Teams are no longer scared of them. So far this year they have lost their biggest rivalry game, got whooped by UL after they stomped on the logo (no class) and now this (even less class). The only people who dont know this are the fans and the players. We gots our swagga back. /chuckle.:sidelol:

What will attract kids is the amount of draft picks, and the history and the location of this team. Not to mention the U will always have a grasp on the market down here in South Florida, and that alone can vault u into an elite team.

The guy who swung his helmet and #24 of FIU should both be banned from football forever. Both teams should not be allowed new recruits for the next 2 years.

You don't let somebody knock your friend/family/teammate to the ground and say, "hey there's no need for that." If I was in a bar watching the game and somebody took a swing at a guy wearing a 'Canes jersey for no reason, I would knock his dick in the dirt.

I've never seen an official present in a street fight. People get punched in games all the time and they dont hit back, like they would in a street fight, they look at the official. This is a much much more controlled environment then a street fight. FIU went further than a simple punch but Miami's reaction was still out of line. Continue condoning the actions of the team though, the fans reaction is just making the program look worse.

Hockey has a set of rules FOR fighting? I'd love to see you post them. NHL.COM should be a viable resource for the rule book. Street fighting by definition is in the street with no rules come as you are. This is football (or at least it used to be before people started ripping off their helmets and looking like a bobblehead after every 2 yard run from scrimmage). No fights necessary, the game is already plenty violent.

Showboating and thug mentality.....yeah, thats football. I say suspend both teams for the rest of the season and forfeit the rest of their games. Theres no place for that type of hooliganism in college football.

Im really shocked a Don Strock team was involved too. He's always been a class act.

Its called acting like a bunch of immature unprofessional atheletes. Those players are the future of teh NFL and to act like that.... It reminds me of the OSU player that chocked that Michigan player after the GW field goal. I was ashamed to be a Buckeye fan. Much like the whole Clarette saga. Hopefully Miami will rebound from this I dont even know what to call it.

kyle wright put it best..

"You've got to back up each other," said Miami quarterback Kyle Wright. "You're not just going to sit out there and let guys get beat up."Exactly...

Miami saw their teammate getting beat up by a gang of FIU players...so Miami did whats right..protect your teammate

people in this thread dont understand that..FIU players cant go to their childhood favorite team..and what do they do? cheap shot, gang up on our 3rd string QB and act a fool...

FIU was looking for a fight the wholeeee game...they messed with miami all day long..Miami never responded, but once you get physical with my teammate and hit him in the face..its going down..

The Rap Sheet....

-- Several Miami players fought with LSU players following the Tigers' 40-3 win in the Peach Bowl, a brawl that quickly escalated into an out-of-control melee in the tunnel leading from the field.

-- Shortly before the Miami-Louisville game Sept. 16, virtually the entire Hurricanes' roster jumped on the Cardinals logo at midfield -- an act widely viewed as a taunting gesture. Afterward, several Miami players chided eammates for their involvement in that incident.

-- A Miami player was shot outside his home shortly before training camp began in what players contend was a robbery attempt. Meriweather returned fire at the alleged assailants. Police said he acted legally.

-- Wide receiver Ryan Moore, who was sent home from the Peach Bowl for violating team rules, was suspended for the first two games of 2006 for other violations. He is expected to be charged this week with misdemeanors stemming from an August fight with a woman. He hasn't played this season.

Rule 56 Fisticuffs

An instigator of an altercation shall be a player who by his actions or demeanor demonstrates any/some of the following criteria: distance traveled; gloves off first; first punch thrown; menacing attitude or posture; verbal instigation or threats; conduct in retaliation to a prior game (or season) incident; obvious retribution for a previous incident in the game or season.
The aggressor in an altercation shall be the player who continues to throw punches in an attempt to inflict punishment on his opponent who is in a defenseless position or who is an unwilling combatant. A player must be deemed the aggressor when he continues throwing and landing punches in a further attempt to inflict punishment and/or injury on his opponent who is no longer in a position to defend himself.
An altercation is a situation involving two players, with at least one to be penalized.

A major penalty shall be imposed on any player who fights. A player who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation shall be assessed an instigating minor pen-alty, a major for fighting and a ten minute misconduct.
(NEW for 2005-06) A player who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation in the final five (5) minutes of regulation time or at any time in overtime, shall be assessed an instigator minor penalty, a major for fighting, a ten minute misconduct and an automatic one-game suspension. The length of suspension will double for each subsequent offense. In addition, the player's coach shall be fined $10,000 -- a fine that will double for each subsequent incident.
(NEW for 2005-06) (NOTE 1) No team appeals will be permitted either verbally or in writing regarding the assessment of this automatic suspension.
A player who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation will have this recorded as an instigator of an altercation for statistical and suspension purposes.
If the same player is deemed to be the instigator of a second altercation in the same game, he shall be assessed an instigating minor penalty, a major for fighting and a game misconduct.
A player who is deemed to be the aggressor of an altercation shall be assessed a major penalty for fighting and a game misconduct.
A player who is deemed to be the aggressor of an altercation will have this recorded as an aggressor of an altercation for statistical and suspension purposes.
A player who is deemed to be both the instigator and aggressor of an altercation shall be assessed an instigating minor penalty, a major penalty for fighting, a ten minute misconduct penalty (instigator) and a game misconduct penalty (aggressor).
A player who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation for the third time or the aggressor for the third time in one Regular Season shall be suspended for the next two Regular Season games of his Team. For the fourth instigator penalty or fourth aggressor penalty in the same Regular Season, the player will be suspended for the next four games of his Team. For the fifth instigator penalty or fifth aggressor penalty in the same Regular Season, the player will be suspended for the next six games of his Team.
(NOTE 2) When the player receives his third instigator penalty in one Regular Season, he is automatically given a game misconduct following that third violation.
(NEW for 2005-06) (NOTE 3) Automatic suspensions assessed to players who are deemed to be the instigator of an altercation in the final five (5) minutes of regulation time or at any time in overtime, shall be served in addition to any other automatic suspensions a player may incur for an accumulation of three or more Instigator penalties.
During the Playoffs, any player who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation for the second time or the aggressor for the second time shall be suspended automatically for the next Playoff game of his Team. For each subsequent instigator or aggressor violation during the Playoffs, the automatic suspension shall be increased by one game.
Prior to the commencement of each Stanley Cup Finals, a player will have his current instigator and aggressor violations removed from his current playoff record. They will remain part of his historical record.
If a player penalized as an instigator of an altercation is wearing a face shield, he shall be assessed an additional Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty.
(NOTE 4) Should the player who instigates the fight be wearing a face shield, but removes it before instigating the altercation, the additional Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty shall not apply.
A player who deliberately removes his sweater prior to participating in an altercation or who is clearly wearing a sweater that has been modified and does not conform to Rule 24A -- Players' Jerseys (http://www.nhl.com/rules/rule24.html#a), shall be assessed a minor penalty for Unsportsmanlike Conduct and a game misconduct. This is in addition to other penalties to be assessed to the participants of an altercation.
A player who engages in fisticuffs and whose sweater is removed (completely off his torso), other than through the actions of his opponent in the altercation or through the actions of the Linesman, shall be assessed a game misconduct penalty.
A player who engages in fisticuffs and whose sweater is not properly "tied-down" (sweater properly fastened to pants), and who loses his sweater (completely off his torso) in that altercation, shall receive a game misconduct.
A player who is involved in an altercation, when the opponent has been identified as an instigator, shall not be assessed a game misconduct if his sweater should be removed by an opponent or an Official in the discharge of his duties.
A minor penalty shall be imposed on a player who, having been struck, shall retaliate with a blow or attempted blow. However, at the discretion of the Referee, a major or a double-minor penalty or a game misconduct penalty may be imposed if such player continues the altercation. (NOTE 1) It is the intent and purpose of this Rule that the Referee shall impose the "major and game misconduct" penalty in all cases where the instigator or retaliator of the fight is the aggressor and is plainly doing so for the purpose of intimidation or punishment. To further clarify, the player who starts the fight, and who then also becomes the aggressor shall be assessed an instigating minor penalty, a major penalty for fighting, a ten minute misconduct (instigator), and a game misconduct for being the aggressor.
(NOTE 2) The Referee is provided very wide latitude in the penalties which he may impose under this Rule. This is done intentionally to enable him to differentiate between the obvious degrees of responsibility of the participants either for starting the fighting or persisting in continuing the fighting. The discretion provided should be exercised realistically.
(NOTE 3) Referees are directed to employ every means provided by these rules to stop "brawling" and should use this Rule and Rules 41(e) (http://www.nhl.com/rules/rule41.html#e) and (f) (http://www.nhl.com/rules/rule41.html#f) -- Abuse of Officials and other Misconduct.
(NOTE 4) Any player wearing tape or any other material on his hands (below the wrist) who cuts or injures an opponent during an altercation will receive a match penalty under Rule 43 -- Attempt to or Deliberate Injury of Opponents (http://www.nhl.com/rules/rule43.html) in addition to any other penalties imposed including penalties for fighting under this rule.
A misconduct or game misconduct penalty shall be imposed on any player involved in fisticuffs off the playing surface or with another player who is off the playing surface. These penalties are in addition to any other time penalties assessed.
A game misconduct penalty, at the discretion of the Referee, shall be imposed on any player or goalkeeper who is the first to intervene in an altercation already in progress except when a match penalty is being imposed in the original altercation. This penalty is in addition to any other penalty incurred in the same incident.
When a fight occurs, all players not engaged shall go immediately to the area of their players' bench and in the event the altercation takes place at a players' bench, the players on the ice from that Team shall go to their defensive zone. Failure to comply with the Rule shall, in addition to the other penalties that may be assessed, result in a fine to the Team of $1,000 and the Coach of said Team in the amount of $1,000.
A game misconduct penalty shall be imposed on any player who is assessed a major penalty for fighting after the original altercation. Notwithstanding this Rule, at the discretion of the Referee, the automatic game misconduct penalty may be waived for a player in the altercation if the opposing player was clearly the instigator of the altercation.
Any Teams whose players become involved in an altercation, other than during the periods of the game, shall be fined automatically twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) in addition to any other appropriate penalties that may be imposed upon the participating players by supplementary discipline or otherwise. Any player who would be deemed to be an instigator pursuant to Rule 56(a) (http://www.nhl.com/rules/rule56.html#a) at a time other than during the periods of the game shall be suspended automatically for ten (10) games.
Such determination may be made by the Referee at the time of the incident or subsequently by the Commissioner or his designee based upon such reports and other information as he deems sufficient, including but not limited to television tapes.
(NOTE) In the case of altercations taking place after the period or game the fine under this Rule shall be assessed only in the event that an altercation is commenced after the period or game has terminated.

As you can plainly see, there are no rules FOR fighting, only against it. Thanks for playing, don't forget to get your door prize on the way out :rolleyes2

Are you a man or a 6 yr old girl? Whats with the attitude? First you make some statement about a sport you obviously know nothing about and then i correct you and you act like i stole your easy bake oven.

The rules define the penalty for the behavior. They dont prescribe the form, but the foul. Is that too many big words for ya Nappy? Try this, the rules tell you what to do to people who fight, because fighting is against the rules.

Wanna try for double jeopardy where the stakes really increase?

Dont get mad at me because i demanded more from my education than you did

lol@people saying miami are a bunch of thugs...give me a break..wasnt it FIU who started it? and people act like this is coker's fault...Last year after the Peach Bowl some Canes were jumped by LSU afterwards and one player got knocked unconscious with a shot from a helmet.. people said the Canes gone soft.. Now they say they outta control.. another guy said this is the worst thing he has ever seen..which is quite stupid to say since fights break out all the time in sports..But what gets me is that this is "Deplorable and disgusting," yet hockey has fights every night where they can swing until someone falls. Baseball has several bench clearing brawls per season. This ****, while bad, is no worse than what happens in other sports.

Miami isnt a bunch of thugs? Really?

Did it occur to you maybe Miami was embarrased that they were into the 3rd quarter and only up 7-0 when they scored, and the U receiver pointed at the FIU bench and bowed. Wow, some class act there.

Both teams were culpable, both should be punished. Pointing to other sports does nothing to refute the fact this was a classless act that has no place on a football field. If you cant find enough violence in the every down play, maybe they should look into MMA.

edit: also, did anyone get to hear Lamar Thomas on Comcast broadcasting the game? hilarious!!!

Where did i say it was ONLY Miamis fault. If you read the end, i blamed both teams for their classless behavior.

why was hockey even brought up? they don't even fight. they just have little sparring matches that rarely result in anything more than a ripped jersey or something. REAL hockey fights are about as commonplace as REAL football fights or brawls.

if I was in that situation I would have done the same and so would most of you guys so stop blaming the Miami players when they didn't start it. nobody even got hurt so whats the big deal? get over it and move on, Coker will be fired which would have happened anyway

Seeing that your 18 and the players from BOTH (bolded in case any more assumptions) teams are around that age, it could be a maturity issue.

I think my argument is valid seeing that MoFins is 41 while the rest of you saying that you need to fight in that situation are in the teens or early 20s

I'm talking for Miami's sake because they retaileated in self defense and than after the FIU bench cleared you know the Miami bench has to to even the fight

this isn't a age issue, the same kind of thing happened yesterday in the Giant, Falcon game. a Giant LB nailed Vick a yard out of bounds and the guy was ambushed by about 10 Falcons

Cuban Dave 9

10-16-2006, 03:39 PM

Ambushed, there was no stomping on anyone...no helmets being swung. That's how you could defend a teammate. If you read a post earlier I mention pushing people away. I mean, that Vick incident explains it.

Nappy Roots

10-16-2006, 03:43 PM

pushing people away only works when either they dont WANT to fight like FIU did or they were just pushing to.

so basically bushing wouldnt work when the other person is punching you

swinging a helmet and stomping is ridiculous. you can use the "self-defense" line all you want, but they went too far.
